Southerly winds blow micros up from Bawdsey saltings

The night of 28 July was quite blustery with winds coming from the south.  In the traps was a specimen of Apodia bifractella – not a species I’ve seen in this district before.

Another nice micro in the traps was Aphomia zelleri this morning.

The first two specimens of Mouse Moth appeared in the southern most trap.  Migrants were run-of-the-mill with just Diamond-backs, European Corn-borers, four Dark Sword-grass and 23 Silver Y noted.
